James Comey examines after the '8647' Post from the Secret Service

play

The law enforcement officers in Washington -Us -usa said on May 15 that they had looked up a social media post by the former FBI director James Comey, who was a picture of “8647”, which interpreted some Trump supporters as a threat to President Donald Trump.

According to Reuters, Comey, who was released by Trump in 2017, later took the post and said he didn't know that the obvious political message could be associated with violence.

In the US prison, number 86 can be used as a verb, which means throwing someone out of a bar because he is drunk or disorganized, and 47 is code for Trump, the 47th president. Some Trump supporters interpreted the message as one to violently remove Trump from office, also by assassination, Reuters reported.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary says on its website that the latest meaning of the semester was “killing”, but that it did not take over that “because of its relative repetition and sparseness of use”.

The secret service, which is responsible for the protection of the president, said that he was aware of Comey's post, but did not evaluate its importance.

“The secret service energetically examines everything that can be seen as a potential threat to our protectors. We are aware of the social media contributions of the former FBI director and take rhetoric like this very seriously. In addition, we do not comment on protection intelligence,” said the spokesman for Secret Service, Anthony Guglielmi.

A federal law enforcement officer announced that the Secret Service sent agents to ask Comey about his post, and said that he would do the same for everyone who would publish a potential threat to a former or current president. The officer said this on the condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing investigative matters.

Kristi Noem, secretary of the homeland protection authority, whose agency monitors the secret service, said on X that DHS and the secret service will examine this threat and react appropriately “.

Director of the National Secret Services Tulsi Gabbard continued and said she thinks Comey should be brought for the post behind grids.

Asked by Fox News Anchor Jesse Watters when she believed that the former FBI director should “be in prison,” said Gabard: “I do it.”

“Any other person with the position of influence he has, people who take very seriously what a type of his stature, experience and the propaganda media have built it, I am very concerned about the president's life,” said Gabbard. “We have already seen attempts at murder. I am very concerned about his life and James Comey should be held accountable and laid behind bars.”

The current FBI director Kash Patel said on X that his agency communicates with the secret service via the post and “would provide all the necessary support”.

Others were explicitly to assign Comey's posts to a malignant meaning, with deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino told the White House that it was a call to murder Trump.

Comey posted an Instagram photo of the number 8647, which was founded by mussels on the beach.

“Cool Shell formation on my beach walk,” said Comey.

But after the turmoil of Trump supporters had decreased the post, he said that he had assumed that it was only a “political message”.

“I have not noticed that some people associate these numbers by force. It never occurred to me, but I reject violence of all kinds, so I decreased the post,” said Comey.

While some Trump supporters took the term as violence, one of the origins of the term 86's comes from the history of a notorious bar, not far from Comey, and where he worked as a US lawyer for the southern district of New York in Manhattan.

The urban myth in New York says that the term “86” was created when bartkeeps thrown disordered guests from Chumleys from Chumleys. they arrest.

Comey did not give back calls and texts that were looking for a comment from USA Today.

At the beginning of his first term in May 2017, Trump fired Comey, who, as the FBI director, had managed an investigation of the possible arrangement of the Trump 2016 campaign 2016 with Russia to help Trump was elected.
